New implementation for wire protocol in Jaybird and all drivers need a faster wire protocol
Mark Rotteveel wrote on twitter about the Jaybird improvement:
Writing a new implementation of the wire protocol in Jaybird. I fear it is going to cascade into a total rewrite of the driver
Jiri chatted later:
IMO the whole “communication layer” needs redesign. It’s (way) too legacy.
And later on the twitter channel Brent Rowland wrote:
Contemplating creating a new wire protocol. Stop me now…
I have a replication system for Firebird I need to extend across a WAN. Firebird has no built-in replication and the protocol is chatty.
Editor:All these conversations are around Firebird 2.5.x protocol , there is work conducted by Dmitry Yemanov on improving the Firebird 3.x protocol
